Thank you Sacramento Kings 💜
It has been an absolute blessing to be a part of such an incredible dance team for the 25-26 season. Another kings audition in the books and it has been an absolute pleasure having this opportunity! I honestly couldn’t have asked for anything better.

To @sarahschnee_ @tatumwozniak — thank you for being such amazing coaches and for guiding me and the entire team throughout this season with so much heart and love! The passion you both put into us dancers has truly meant the world 🙏🏾 Thank you to every choreographer and judge that has inspired me to keep pushing no matter the outcome 💜 @tara.clucklee @jennyrian @gregchapkis @_robrich @mishagabriel @tonygcast @dextercarr

Even though I won’t be joining the team on the court this coming season, I’m still beyond blessed to have had the opportunity to push myself as a professional dancer to be better every single day, and to get to experience that alongside such inspiring teammates. This year I was able to meet and be inspired by amazing teammates, coaches, and the most incredible entertainment team and fans.

On that note……. REPRESENTATION MATTERS! Being in this industry has taught me so much about self-worth, and how easily society can try to take it from you. We live in a world that stereotypes of what a “picture perfect dancer” or “ picture perfect dance team” should look like. I’m so blessed I got to step onto that court and show other dancers and fans that it doesn’t matter your body size, skin color, hair, personality, or style. What matters is your talent. It’s about knowing your self-worth. I’m so grateful to have been on a team that truly understood how to bring so many different personalities and styles together and move as one. It has been such an amazing year of breaking barriers all while being guided by such an incredible dance family.

Even though this door has closed, I’m still beyond blessed and excited to see what God has in store for me in this next chapter. This season was truly one for the books, and it’s something I will carry with me for a very long time.

Until next time,
Victoria Knighten💜🦁✌️#sacramentokings @blackgirlscheer

What a blessing it is to be around true friends and allies. Happy to walk (&dance) another year in the Sacramento Pride Parade with my @sacramentokingsdanceteam family & the @sacramentokings.

Celebrating every step, every move, & every color, exactly as we are. Happy Pride!

And that is officially a wrap of my time at Sacramento State. It feels like there isn’t the correct words to say how much this journey has changed me. I would be lying if I said there was not moments when I felt like my world was collapsing. However, when that happened these people were always right by my side or a phone call away ready to listen to my venting and lend a helping hand.
Mom and Dad, thank you for teaching me what a privilege education truly is. If it weren’t for your unconditional love, guidance, and support I don’t know where I would be today. I will forever be your baby girl who looks up to you both and I will always do my best to make you proud!
Ashlyn, Krista, and Ben, thank you all for being the best big sisters and brother in law a girl could have. You all inspire me in your own unique ways and I feel so very blessed to have you all in my life. Thank you for being exactly who you are and always picking up the phone when I needed it the most!
Jadyn and Vanessa, you both have become my rocks these past few years. Our little trio has turned into my second family and I am so lucky to have had you both by my side through all of the ups and downs. I love you guys endlessly and I hope you know that you are stuck with me forever!
And of course, to everyone I have had the privilege of gaining a close friendship with throughout my time here, I LOVE YOU ALL!! Every single person I have met here has made a huge impact on my college career and I know that I have all of you to thank for giving me some of the best years of my life!
If you’ve made it this far I promise this is finally the end lol. But to Sacramento State thank you for the best college experience I could have ever imagined. Leaving this chapter is so bittersweet but I know my time here has prepared me more than enough to take on the real world. Stingers up forever and always🐝💛
